Altogether, in 1939 and 1940, the French army recruited some 100,000 soldiers in French West Africa, of whom three quarters served in France, while the rest performed guard duty in France's colonies. Among the Black troops were the Tirailleurs Sénégalais, of whom roughly 63,000 fought in the front lines against the Wehrmacht in May and June 1940, with ten thousand killed and thousands more missing in action.
